</div>right these are the search providers and there are 2 that might provide file results (nautilus and gnome-documents). Look carefully at the icon<br>
in the Left hand column for the results you are clicking!<br>
<br>
You can disable the gnome-documents search-provider in gnome-control-center 3.10+ search panel , or using dconf-editor to set:<br>
org.gnome.desktop.search-providers disabled ['gnome-documents.desktop']<br>
<br>
That way you will only get results from nautilus recently used<br>
